One of the more interesting takes I heard from a colleague, who’s in the marketing department, is that he uses the corporate approved LLM (Gemini) for “pretend work” or very basic tasks. At the same time he uses Claude on his personal account to seriously augment his job.
His rationale is he won’t let the company log his prompts and responses so they can’t build an agentic replacement for him. Corporate rules about shadow it be damned.
It's not his company that will train using his prompts. It's the personal account, unless it is fully paid and he's opted out of training on his prompts.
I’d argue this can’t be trusted either considering the AI labs already established they’re willing to break laws (copyright) if the ultimate legal consequence is just a small fine or settlement.

Only the paranoid survive I guess
